Fareed Zakaria
Air Date: August 8, 2008
If you want to know more about the world, there are few better people to ask than Fareed Zakaria.
The editor of Newsweek International and former host of public television's Foreign Exchange has written nearly a half dozen books and appeared as an analyst and expert on programs such as ABC News and This Week with George Stephanopoulos.
This summer, he launches Fareed Zakaria GPS, a new program about international affairs on CNN. His latest book, The Post-American World, is a critical look at America’s foreign policy and an examination of what he calls “the rise of the rest.” From developing nations in Africa and South America to emerging superpowers such as China and India, Zakaria explains why America might soon play a less dominant role in world politics.
Enrique Cerna has a blunt conversation with Zakaria about his book, our country’s position in the world, and the greatest threats facing America today.
